Anthony Rodriguez is a native of New Jersey, USA. He studied for 7 years as a self-taught musician, and at the age of 16 became the pianist for his home church in NJ. In 1997 Anthony was gathered with a group of talented musicians that had the same interest in music.

 

Together with his friends they would go into countless hours in recording sessions just to compose and record ideas that someday would become an album. At the age of 17 he was introduced to professional musicians that worked together with Super Star singer Marc Anthony. Anthony was influenced by this group of pro-musicians ; they led Anthony into learning music theory, music production, and piano while simultaneously seeing and experiencing the way the pros produced and approached music in real-life studio recordings. At the same time, Anthony had auditioned for a Salsa band called Ebenezer, which accepted him as a member right after the rehearsal. His experience in the live scenario has improved along with his musicianship in live and studio settings.

 

While proceeding in the music industry, in 2004 Anthony participated and produced the soundtrack for BET's Telly Award winning movie Tangy's Song, which also got a nomination in the Cable Positive Awards. On 2015 Anthony released the first Latin style remix to Shackles from Gospel Artists, Mary Mary. This record reached #1 on Amazon Music, and received a nomination for Best Latin Song in The Independent Music Awards. In 2021, Anthony recorded and produced a cover of hit song "Killing Me Softly" which made number 1 in R&B/Soul on Apple Music Portugal.

All of these responsibilities led him to become more than just a musician -- but a entrepreneur in music . ​
